PULWAMA: Continuing its relentless drive against the menace of illegal mining, Police in Pulwama have acted decisively to curb the unlawful extraction and transportation of minerals across the district.

Acting on a specific lead, a police team at a checkpoint established at Newa Market intercepted a vehicle (tipper) bearing registration No. JK01N-9762, driven by Showket Ahmad Parray son of Mohd Subhan Parray resident of Lelhar Kakapora. Upon inspection, the vehicle was found loaded with illegally extracted sand. The driver failed to produce any valid permits or legal authorization for the transportation of the material. Taking immediate cognizance of the violation, the vehicle was seized on the spot.

In this regard, FIR No. 61/2026 has been registered at Police Station Pulwama, and investigation has been set into motion. J&K Police remains firm in its resolve to dismantle the illegal mining network. Citizens are urged to come forward and share any information regarding such activities with the nearest police establishment to help protect our natural resources.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applicationsā€”especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart diseaseā€”reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
